The Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward has a four-part mission of marine research, wildlife rehabilitation, conservation, and public education.  But in order to achieve this mission, the Center must be able to feed and care for the many marine creatures that come through its doors.  As a non-profit organization, we do this through the generosity of friends like you.
